LDS Temple at full moonset

Not sure if this is the correct group to post this in, but here it is! I took this one a few mornings ago when the moon was full and setting above the temple. I used exposure bracketing to get most of the image correctly exposed. I also had to paste the moon in from a totally separate picture since the exposure time on the temple was 10 seconds and for the moon was 1/250 second.

I really like the photo, but I just received a rejection notice from Adobe Stock for "Technical Error". Adobe is famous for providing no additional feedback and I have no idea what the technical error would be in the photo.

Would anybody have any guesses as to what the technical error would be? Any other feedback on the photo would be much appreciated as I plan to return to retake the picture again next month when there is a full moon.

This shot is so cool! This looks like the Mesa temple, correct me if I'm wrong. Capturing the building with that moon is just epic!

As far as the Adobe Stock issue, that's kind of puzzling. I just took a brief glance at their specs for uploads, and as long as you're uploading a .jpg within the file size guidelines then I'm not sure what the issue would be.

I brought the image up full on my desktop and didn't see anything that stood out to me as an error.

For reference: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/stock/contributor/legal/submission-guidelines...

You are close, it's the Gilbert temple, which is only 20 minutes or so away from the Mesa temple. Yes, I've read the guidelines over and over again and still clueless about why it was rejected! The only thing that I will change when I shoot it next time is to expand the exposure stack a couple of more images on the low side as the Moroni statue is slightly overexposed.

Yeah man, their rejection is stumping me. At this point, it might be worth seeing if you can get a human response for the complication by sending them an email. Beyond that, I couldn't see if their guidelines specified color modes i.e. RGB/CMYK, but it might be worth checking?? Good luck man!! Seriously, fantastic work here, I dig it!
